Lore India Foundation Scholarship Trust has announced the launch of a pioneering scholarship programme that will identify, assess, reward and mentor the brightest young minds in India.

More than 100 of the most brilliant students will be identified through a scientifically evolved Learning Aptitude Test (LAT), designed by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) with the help of acclaimed education scientists.

Qualifying students will receive cash scholarships from a generous corpus of Rs 55 million and also benefit from valuable mentoring and coaching provided by renowned academicians.

Once selected, the Scholars will undergo a comprehensive interest schedule/psychometric analysis to gain insights that will allow experts to provide them effective guidance in their educational careers.

The scholarship amount is set up as an interest generating trust fund available to the Scholar to draw upon for a period of seven years from the date of the award.
